Rings shall vanish from our noses,Ĭruel whips no more shall crack. Īlternate melodies: "Ode to Joy" or "Joyful, Joyful, we adore Thee" or "Come Thou Fount of every Blessing" or "Ebenezer", "Anthem of the Soviet Republics", or the 1954 anthem's tune. The song's tune is described in the novel as sounding like a combination of " La Cucaracha" and " Oh My Darling Clementine". In the book, the pig Old Major explains his dream of an animal-controlled society three nights before his death. "Beasts of England", the original anthem of the Animal Farm corresponds to the famous socialist anthem, The Internationale, but also alludes to Shelley's Men of England. However, while "Beasts of England" was outlawed in the novel, The Internationale was not banned by the Soviet Union at any time and remained as the anthem of the Communist Party. The development corresponds to the historical events of 1943, when Joseph Stalin had The Internationale, previously the anthem of the Soviet Union, replaced with a new, more patriotic national anthem. Their replacement by different anthems reflects how these ideologies were arguably distorted by Stalin and Napoleon and thus had to be replaced and suppressed. Both The Internationale and "Beasts of England" reflected the principles of Marxism and Animalism, respectively. This change is used to show the corruption of the principles of the animals' rebellion by Animal Farm's leader Napoleon. The later song "Comrade Napoleon" praises Napoleon and fails to represent freedom at all. George Orwell's 1945 allegorical novel Animal Farm contains various anthems adopted by the eponymous farm, most notably the original anthem "Beasts of England" and its later replacement "Comrade Napoleon".
